In depth

Verdict

This looks very tough as Doug Watson has four entries and three are in good form. Etijaah won a handicap at Al Aine by over 14 lengths but has been raised an incredible 18lb as a consequence. Mizbah's second to Press Room last month was an improved run and Mark To Market bounced back to form at Jebel Ali. Street Act has been running well but is held by Mizbah on latest form as is Ormindo, who found an 8lb rise for his previous victory beyond him. It's hard what to make of the former Godolphin-based ABSOLUTE SWAY as he showed nothing in two starts for Charlie Appleby but gained a comfortable success for new connections at Jebel Ali on Friday. He cost 170,000gns and is a half-brother to five winners so perhaps he's a slow-burner and is given a chance to complete a quick double.
